Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric exercising appliance for either active or passive exercising of limb and other skeletal muscles.
  • active refers to the overcoming, by the user's limbs, of a presettable resistance to movement offered by the appliance
  • passive refers to the movement of limbs as caused by the appliance itself, acting as a mover.
  • Active exercising machines are well known under such names as exercising cycles, home trainers, ergometers, etc., and consist of a stationary frame including a saddle and a handlebar-like grip as well as a pair of pedals whereby the user drives a flywheel whilst overcoming a braking torque applied to the flywheel.
  • These devices are all quite heavy and bulky: one of the better-known brands has a flywheel weighing 18 kg, with a total weight of 33 kg. This large flywheel mass is necessary so as to store up, at the relatively low flywheel speed (100-200 rpm), a sufficient amount of kinetic energy to ensure smooth pedalling.
  • the braking effort is far from being constant and reproducible, depending as it does on the state of wear of the braking pads and the surface condition of the flywheel faces to which the pads are applied.
  • an electric exercising appliance comprising a frame including at least one member and at least indirectly mountable on a supporting surface, an electric motor adapted to operate in a first mode in which it functions as generator, drawing muscular energy from the user of said appliance and converting said muscular energy into electrical energy convertible into other forms of energy, and in a second mode in which said motor functions as mover, drawing electrical energy from a source thereof and moving, and thereby exercising, limbs of said user, first switch means for switching over from said first to said second mode and vice-versa, first adjustment means for adjusting the energy to be expended by said user in said first mode, and second adjustment means for adjusting the speed of said motor in said second mode.
  • FIGs. 1 and 2 there are seen in Figs. 1 and 2 two tubular frame members 2 and 4 foldably articulated to one another by means of a pivot 6 in a scissor joint 8 comprising stops 10 which define and limit the angle the two frame members 2,4 may include in the unfolded state.
  • the two members 2,4 When folded (for storage or transport), the two members 2,4 are nearly parallel.
  • the members 2,4 are pro­vided with cross bars 12,14, respectively, having plastic end caps 16. These cross bars constitute the feet on which the appliance rests in the unfolded state and are long enough to provide a sufficient degree of stability.
  • the tubular frame member 2 carries a saddle 18, the pillar 20 of which telescopically slides inside the member 2 and can be fixed at the desired position by means of a locking clamp 22.
  • a handlebar 24 mounted on a handlebar pillar 26 which telescopically slides in frame member 4.
  • a motor-generator 28 Fixedly attached to the lower portion of the frame member 2 is a motor-generator 28 shown to better advantage in Fig. 3 and discussed further below.
  • a pedal-axle bearing 30 is also fixedly attached to the frame member 2, at a point slightly above the motor 28, there is seen a pedal-axle bearing 30.
  • the pedals 32 themselves are arranged at the ends of the cranks 34.
  • the drive connection between the pedals and the motor 28 is either a chain or a belt 36, which is led over a motor sprocket or pulley 38 on the one hand, and over a chain wheel or belt pulley 40, on the other. Partly shown is also a chain or pulley guard 42.
  • control panel 52 mounted on the handlebar 24, there is seen the control panel 52, shown fully in Fig. 4 and explained further below.
  • the electric motor-generator is shown in greater detail in Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 3 There is seen the low-voltage, permanent-magnet, d.c., motor 28, one end of the motor shaft of which is in the form of a worm 46.
  • a relatively small cylindrical mass (100-200 gr) acting as flywheel 47 which, because of the very high motor speed (3000-5000 rpm) has sufficient kinetic-energy storing capacity to ensure smooth, non-jerky pedalling.
  • the worm 46 engages a worm wheel 48, on the outpout shaft 50 of which is mounted the sprocket or pulley 38 (not shown in Fig. 3).
  • the lead angle of the worm 46 is such that the motor, via the worm 46, can drive the worm wheel 48 with about the same efficiency as it can be driven by the worm wheel via the worm.
  • the motor-generator 28 operates as motor, rotating the pedals and thus moving the user's legs.
  • Pedalling speed can be varied by varying the voltage supplied to the motor and back­pedalling is possible by throwing a switch that reverses the polarity of the d.c. voltage supplied to the motor 28.
  • the circuit works on the a.c. mains.
  • the generator output could conceivably be utilized for practical purposes such as charging a battery or operating an electric fan, or the like.
  • the control panel 52 and its electric circuit are shown in Figs. 4 and 5, respectively.
  • the control elements seen in Fig. 4 include two knobs, two toggle switches and one meter.
  • Knob 54 varies the resistor 56 that controls the "braking" effect of the generator in active exercise.
  • Knob 57 controls the dimmer 58 that varies the primary voltage in the transformer 60 feeding the rectifier 62 that supplies the d.c. voltage to the motor in the "passive" mode.
  • Toggle switch 64 effects switching over from “active” (A) to “passive” (P) (in the diagram of Fig. 5, the circuit is shown in the "active” position, with the motor 28 disconnected from the voltage supply).
  • the polarity changing toggle switch 66 has two positions, F for "forward” and B for “back”, and determines the direction of pedalling in passive exercising.
  • the wattmeter 68 indicates the pedalling effort invested by the user, which, by taking into account the pedalling time, facilitates conversion into kcal expended.
  • FIG. 6 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in Fig. 6.
  • the appliance can be attached to the front legs of a chair 70, with armrests and backrest, permitting exercising in a comfortably seated and leaned-­back position.
  • This embodiment has only one frame member, 72, on which are fixedly mounted the motor-generator 28 and the pedal-axle bearing 30 (not shown).
  • the tubular member 72 rides on, and is clampable to, a bar 74, the lower end of which is provided with a cross piece having telescoping ends (not shown) attachable to the front legs of the chair 70 by means of clamps 76.
  • An inverted-U-shaped tubular member with a horizontal base 78 (shown in the view of Fig. 6 as circle), which is attachable to the upper end portion of the bar 74 by means of a clamp 80, has two tubular limbs 82 in which telescopically slide pillars 84 that rest on the floor, thus supporting the upper end of the bar 74.
  • a bracket 86 defines the angle between the bar 74 and the tubular limbs 82.
  • Clamps 22 immobolize the telescoping pillars 84 after their position (which determines the inclination of the bar 74)
  • the control panel 52 is conveniently attached to one of the arm­rests of the chair 70.
  • the position of the member 72 along the bar 74, as well as the inclination of the latter are adjusted according to the requirements of the individual user.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates the use of the appliance according to the invention as arranged for exercising the arm and associated muscles.
  • This variant is attachable to the front legs of a chair.
  • the frame member 72 and bar 74 are the same as in the embodiment of Fig. 6, as are the telescoping ends of the cross piece (not shown) and the clamps 76.
  • another clamp 88 attachable to the frame member 72, to which clamp is hingedly attached a tubular member 90 accommodating a telescoping pillar 92.
  • the latter is provided with a cross piece (not shown) having two plastic end caps 16 in the manner of the cross bars 12 or 14 of Fig. 1. Pillar 92 is immobilized by means of a clamp 22.
  • the vertical height of the pedal axis relative to the seat of the chair is adjusted by lowering or raising the frame member 72, while the horizontal distance of the pedal axis relative to the edge of the seat is adjusted by varying the inclination of the bar 74 by adjusting the effective length of the telescoping pillar 92.
  • a chain 94 limits the angle included between the bar 74 and the pillar 92.
  • the standard pedals 32 are advanta­geously replaced by substantially cylindrical handles easily gripped by the user's hands.
  • Optional attachments to the exercising appliance according to the invention may include a timer producing an acoustic or optical signal after a presettable time interval has elapsed, and a tachometer or a stroboscopic disk (to be used ith fluorescent lighting) as a pace setter.
  • the exercise appliance may also include a programmer to control the resistance range. Accordingly, one would be able to regulate physical effort and, particularly, to keep load constant independent of pedalling speed.
